This piece was already mentioned in @Al Kowsky's thread about East Harptree Hoard coins, but I have reposted it here to create its permanent...
Roman empire: silver siliqua of Julian II, ca. 360-363 AD; found in 1887 in the East Harptree Hoard [ATTACH] Obverse: DN FL CL IVLI-ANVS PF AVG;...
Yep. Nazi zinc coin. Toast, as mentioned.
Tough coin! I've been browsing Cnuts lately.
I see lettering on y'all's coins, while mine appears to be anepigraphic? I can't see any trace of lettering on it, at any rate.
Never heard of a tomin. Toman, yes, but that's not Spanish. (I wonder if they have similar root words.)
Yes! Cabbages. I would prefer cabbages as my subjects. They don't get quite so ornery and stabby if you forget to water them. People have told...
Being a usurper must have felt like having a tiger by the tail. First your troops are elevating you to the throne, then when there's trouble on...
@Pavlos- thank you. Maybe it is a misattribution, then, and it's a coin after all? I do recall thinking it looked much more like 2nd century BC...

This little piece cost me the grand sum of $17.85 after international shipping. It's fairly small at 15 mm, but the portrait of Asclepius is...
@Bradley Trotter - I never noticed the frog on the El Yunque quarter! Neat. I never pay attention to my pocket change anymore, since I need a...
It does look like the number 48, with some other characters (not ".00".) I've never seen a price written on a coin. Must be a collection number...
Pretty! And big! Is that an old ink collection number or owner's mark on there? I finally got one, as you have seen. [IMG]
I have already asked my dealer about the documentation and such. I agree with you that it doesn't much look like an eagle at the top of the...
Well, in that case... [IMG] [IMG]
It only cost $70-something after overseas shipping (but before slabbing). I thought that was relatively inexpensive.
Separate names with a comma.
